My car sounds nothing like the sample in AM magnaflow sound bite. Disappointed... Can't even return now since installed.I'll sell them to someone nice price???

A cat back exhaust system is almost never going to give you any sort of noticeable performance increase. You aren't really changing anything except the sound of the car and that's just due to bezels in the mufflers. Also, never buy an exhaust system based on some sound file on the internet. You're playing that sound over a computer speaker and its been converted to digital format. It's never going to sound the way it actually does in reality.

The whole warranty thing is debatable....the real reason to skip it is that the payback is very low. A tune with just a drop in dry filter in the stock CAI is your best bang for the buck.

It's $350 worth of pretty pretty bling bling.

I'm not talking about AirRaid CAI, just a replacement better flowing filter in place of the stock filter in the stock air intake..... no bling involved.


Some go to an oil treated K&N filter, I like the AEM DryFlow filters.


I won't try to tell anyone that aftermarket CAI's, H pipes, Headers and all sorts of things won't boost HP, I just think the only mod with a decent dollars per HP gain is a good tune.

I put a K&N drop in that is replace stock filter works fine but when I removed it all & put in a K& N CAI it ran even better the engine getting more air. Keeping it clean helps. When I got a new hood from ford 7 years later I ran it for 2 days no hood & CAI man o did it ever hall **** the air the engine got it loved it went like a bat out of hell.
